Adam Goins, 34, was killed in a backyard confrontation in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 23, 2025. Police say the dispute began shortly after 2 a.m. in the 11200 block of Golden Triangle Circle when Goins, who had gone to the home to borrow a tablet charger, argued with Joseph Jones after Jones arrived with the mother of Goins’ children and another man. Investigators allege Goins struck objects with a golf club and swung it at Jones before others briefly calmed things.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Jones left the yard, retrieved a high-powered pellet rifle from a vehicle and returned. Witnesses told detectives Jones fired twice; the first shot missed and the second struck Goins in the chest. Paramedics pronounced Goins dead at the scene. Jones was arrested on May 29, 2025, initially on a parole violation and later booked on murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; bond was set at $200,000. The reporting documents the charges but does not show a conviction.
